Race one of this weekends BRSCC Mazda MX-5 Championship has finished and it wasn’t quite the result we were hoping for but there are always positives to take away.

Steve Foden (77) started in P8 but after a couple of unfortunate events dropped right down the pack. However, the recovery drive from there was epic, to bring himself back into the points and finish P7.

Our other championship driver Andy Gilligan (178) started in P26 and had a steady race to finish P25.

Race one of the BRSCC Mazda MX-5 Clubman Championship is complete at Donington Race Track and unfortunately our driver had a mechanical error and had to retire the car. This leaves it all to play for this afternoon and if there’s one track that’s fun to drive from the back of the grid, it’s this one ☝️
